Hi. I used a normal rod for interior spaces but I got one that would mount to the ceiling.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!!

Thx! I can’t believe how well they’ve held up. So happy.

That covered porch was already part of the house when we bought it. Yes, the humidity is from living near the coast. We have a marina 5 minutes away. The Intercoastal waterways take us to the Atlantic Ocean by boat in 25 min. There’s pros and cons to living in coastal areas. We love it here!

You use 30 second cleaner straight so if you have a big fence yes, it will add up. The cheaper option is the pool shock but someone here said it can still be expensive. Still cheaper because you can dilute that one. Another commenter said that all of them have bleach and additives. Someone else said that old mold is hard to remove with both of these options so if you have a lot of mold maybe test first before buying a whole lot of product and being disappointed or having to return a whole lot of stuff. I always suggest testing on inconspicuous areas. Hope that helps.

@@BlissHomeGarden thank you! Does the pool shock lighten or remove old stain also?

I’m not sure I understand your comment fully or your intent with your message, but I ended up loving the trees so there’s that. 😊

@@BlissHomeGarden your video its excelent, so sorry for my comment, I suffer harrasment by a neigbour that continue manipulate my computer and other divice, property damage and because I know they do this I let comment. I try to complain but police need evidence so this is a way for me to scare them.

@@giuseppebentivegna7384 oh I see. I understand. That’s annoying and frustrating. I wasn’t sure what you meant. I hope it gets better. We all deserve to feel comfortable in our personal spaces.

Glad it was helpful!

Oh hahaha. They are okay. We had no issues 😁. I do love how everyone has worried about them. It is the neighborly thing to do. Also on the video the homes look a lot closer than they are in real life… and he ended up liking our results and cleaned his siding the same way. It all worked out.

I’ve been thinking about how this might have happened. Do you think a squirrel or a bird somehow made it over to your place from a neighbor?

So glad it was helpful!

Have you ever done that? It’s quite an event. It would definitely be more expensive than the $1000 I spent and I would have had to hire a company to deliver and plant. It’s definitely an option if you want to spend more money for sure.

The FLEPPC (Florida invasive species council) recognizes the cultivars ‘Gold Mound’, ‘New Gold’, ‘Alba’ and ‘Patriot’ series as cultivars that are not known to produce viable seeds. Other promoted sterile cultivars include 'Miss Huff', 'Mozelle', 'New Gold', and 'Samantha' ('Lemon Swirl'). There are many non-invasive cultivars but the lantana cámara is the one that we should be careful with. That’s definitely invasive in many areas. Remember also that your location matters. In Florida and Georgia for example, it’s invasive bc it has too perfect weather and it doesn’t die down, it just gets stronger. Some colder zones don’t have the problem that warmer zones do. Hopefully this helps.

@BlissHomeGarden Oh,Thank you for that! I had just brought home 3 different coloured lantana camara plants. I was so excited because I've been trying to find something for the hummingbirds, (in S.Calif) but the nursery was out of everything I was looking for. And a smaller store had these. I was just setting them down when my Mom's gardener saw them & said, "No, be careful w these. They spread!" So now I don't know what to do w them. 🤷 ..& I still don't have anything for the hummingbirds. ..that they like. Lol.

@@maggienbob1304 hmmm keep them contained in a pot?

🤣 thx!

I love that!!!

I just posted an update after 2 years of hanging them. I’m glad this original post was helpful to you. Have a lovely week!

Hehehe yeah. It’s good to stop and take a breather sometimes. 😁

I'm so glad it was helpful since I hesitated so long to post it. Best to you on your decluttering!

Thank you!

I really didn’t want to post it, but I also want to stay real on the channel. Thanks for the comment 😊

Do you mean the ones on the Eagleston hollies? People always ask about dogs and kids and well. Those berries are kinda hanging tall unless you grow it as a bush and yes they are considered toxic but the effects depend on several factors. For example, if you have a kid that eats a huge amount or a dog that eats them regularly. It also depends how large the dog and the kid are as to what effects it will have. If your kid is constantly eating berries off bushes you might want to double check. I haven’t had issues with my pets at all. I have a dog and a cat.

@@BlissHomeGarden Yes the Eagleston holly is the one I meant, thank you for your response, your videos have inspired me to want to garden and plant trees once my child starts school! (i’m in zone six so not many options I think). I love your calmness and also your patience to not just automatically buy huge trees, but getting them smaller and really having an inspiring demeanor as I’d like to do the same and enjoy the growth process too!

I have learned a lot through my travels so maybe that would be nice. Thank you for the idea.

Thanks so much for your idea; kind of like a curtain tie back :), makes sense to me. I ended up adding a second rod at the bottom cause of the storms. Again, thanks!

So glad you enjoy them. I appreciate the feedback. 🙂

I do love the tropical vibe :)

That might happen bc it happened to me after I removed this one. Good thing is you can easily spot them and remove them without much effort so long as they are new roots. It shouldn’t be a huge problem if you’ve gotten the big older roots out and you are vigilant.

@@BlissHomeGarden Thanks so much for your fast and knowledgeable reply - spoken from experience too.

Hi there! It’s been a couple of years and I can’t quite clearly remember. I want to say it was something like 5 or 6 gallons. Remember it’s 1/3 of the pool shock 2/3 water and a cap full of ALL detergent. My first thought when I read your comment was 5. I’m 90% confident about that answer so forgive me if I’m a little off.

So glad it was. Thanks for watching. 🙂

We planted an orange from seed and it never fruited. That’s why it’s better to use a graft because from seed it takes too long to fruit. When you buy plants from the nursery they’ve typically been grafted. We got fruit two years ago and now, but finally this year the fruit is awesome. We planted a baby loquat (from this tree) in the back. It is in its 2nd year with no signs of fruit.

I think they are similar and it’s a matter of preference. Both are pyramidal and don’t have invasive roots which is great. Maybe see price and what you see most in your area. I think either would work out great. 😊

Wow, how cool. I learn something new all the time. Thanks for sharing. Are you also in a subtropical/tropical area?

I have a spring garden tour video but I’ll also make one later this summer to show an update. They are growing beautifully. You can also see them in the loquat video I made recently.

I can understand that however, I feel like when you google if a plant is toxic to animals just about everything comes up as toxic. Maybe check with a local vet to be sure.

Yikes 😳 about bamboo. I can only imagine. Glad this was helpful. 🙂

how cool! I was thinking of trying another dessert with heavy cream and maybe even a cobbler (loquats instead of peaches) - having fun testing all the ideas. It's getting harder to reach the loquats so we did trim some and will have to assess after this year's growth. I kinda think it shouldn't get bigger than it is now, no need. How big was your loquat growing up?

Lol - thanks for that tip and your comment. I will dry them out and try again. Maybe that will help. Hehehe. They fall down in wintertime, and they brown and don't look appealing for tea, but hey, I like to learn new things and experiment. Your weather is pretty similar to ours. My in-laws live in Tifton and they were over there growing papaya though it never had time to fruit before the frost came. The papaya tree came back as perennials each year. I sure hope you get some fruit too. I love it.

@@BlissHomeGarden oh they are growing papaya tree ?? I would like to grow papaya also! Perhaps the tree doesn’t like the cold weather too much, like guanabanas. I have guanabana seeds and now growing 4 little trees since last year in a pot since it is my favorite fruit after passion fruit. Learning on tricks to grow them here in zone 9A since our winters are a tad intense, so for now I bring them outside from April-early October and bring them in next to my window from late October-March. So far they are thriving. If I ever grow papaya trees, I would grow them close to the house and use clear tarp with stakes around the tree to protect on winter with thick layer of mulch. I look forward to watch more of your videos. Stay blessed! ❤️🙏🏻

@@Soy_Johana_Galindez you and me trying to get all this tropical fruit to grow in our US zones. LOL. I'm attempting a granadilla this year as well (from seed). I love passion fruit but didn't have much luck with that in a previous attempt. Yes, the winter is the deciding factor as it depends how mild or cold it gets or how well it's protected from the harsh cold days. Good luck!

Thx. I guess it's like a combo between a plum and a peach. I was considering doing a loquat cobbler to experiment. It's tart if picked too soon and gets sweeter as it turns more orange. I also wondered how well they would fruit as a small tree in a pot. I have 2 babies in pots this year ready for the experiment.

It's wild how a tree can help you create so many memories. I guess I'm a tree hugger now. hahaha

Thank you for sharing specific cultivars that are safe and great for home gardeners. 😉

You might have to check your HOA. Mine is almost non-existent. However, I do know that anything beyond my fence - even air space - so a branch going over on their air space is theirs. I planted these to where I could keep them trimmed like a wall and stays 100% on my side. If however, I were to let them go over to their side, they can trim them or do as they please. I’m pretty communicative with our neighbor and keep it neat and tidy at all times so we have no issues. That’s something to keep in mind for sure and consideration for how much work you want for yourself. As far as the trunk or roots, various landscapers told me they aren’t obnoxious or take over. Maybe you won’t want to plant them as close to your fence in your neighborhood based on your HOA rules. All cases are different for sure. Good point.
